Google faces $11bn fine in second EU anti-trust case

The European Commission is geared up to fine Google in a second anti-trust case of abusing its dominance via Android mobile operating system, that could lead up to $11 billion in penalty, the media reported.

According to a report in The Financial Times on Wednesday, EU’s Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager is set to give the verdict “within weeks”.

Google later introduced changes in how it compares shopping offers in its search results.

European regulators have in the past investigated Microsoft, Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon, raising claims that Brussels is waging a war against Silicon Valley, but the claim has been denied by the Commission.
